Application filed October 26, 1926. Serial No. 144,374.

This invention relates to certain improvements in tools and it is an ob1ect of the 1nvention to provide a tool of thls kind wherebya bushing or-the like may be beaded or flanged to swivelly connect the same with the desired element.

Another object of the invention is to provide a tool of this character comprising a member adapted, during a working operation, to effectively hold the element to wh ch the bushing is to be applied together w1th a die member carried y member operable by impact to produce a bead or flange to swivelly connect a bushing or the like with the element.

The invention consists in the details of construction and in the combination and ar-' rangement of the several parts of my improved tool whereby certainimportant advantages are attained and the device rendered simpler, less expensive and otherwise more convenient and advantageous for use, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

The novelfeatures of m invention will hereinafter be definitely claimed.

In order that my invention may be the better understood, I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawing, wherein m Figure 1 is a view partly in elevatlon and partly in section illustrating a tool constructed in accordance with an embodiment of my invention and in working assembly;

Figure 2 is a View in front elevation of the structure as illustrated in Figure 1, with the coacting jaws of a vise or the likebeing indicated by broken lines; Figure 3 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 3-3 of Figure 1;

Figure 4 is an elevational View of the block or body member as herein disclosed.

As disclosed in the accompanying drawing, M denotes a block or body member of desired dimensions and which has one end portion bifurcated, as at 1, to provide the substantially parallel spaced legs 2. The opposed faces'or walls of the legs 2 at their inner end portions are provided with the semi-circular recesses or jaws 3 which are adapted to snugly receive an end portion of an elongated shank or other element E .to which a bushing B or the like is adapted to be swivelly connected.

In the present embodiment of my invention, the element E constitutes a tubular the first namedscrew shaft or sleeve as is generally em- Y ployed in connection with self-starters for internal combustion engines and which is provided at one end portion with the head 4 with which the bushlng B is adapted-to be directly engaged. The head 4 has disposed circumferentially therearound 1 an annular recess 5 in which is adapted to be received an annular head 6 carried by the bushing B. The outer face of the member M above the jaws 3 has bolted,,as at 7, or otherwise engaged therewith a guide block 8 through.

which is adapted to operate an elongated die member 9. The working end of the die member 9, as at a, is arcuate in form and on a radius substantially equal to that of the portion of the bushing B applied upon the head 4 and said end a has extending thereacross an outstanding bead forming rib or flange 10. k 1

In practice, when it is desired to swivelly connect a bushing B with the element E, the head 4 of the element E is arranged between the jaws 3 in a position whereby the die member 9 when moved inwardly toward the 'head 4 will cause the rib or flange 10 to be received within the recess 5. The bushing B is then placed upon the head 4 and after the free end portions of the legs 2 have been tightly clamped between the jaws of a vise or the like, as indicated .by broken lines in Figure '2, a suitable imworking operation of the-die member 9, the 9 bushing B will be rotated a desired distance upon the head 4 of the element E.

It is to be noted that my improved tool is extremely simple, is light in weight, and

occupies a minimum of space when not in we use. This facilitates its use in a shop or elsewhere as may be required.

It i alsov to be noted that my improved tool is particularly adapted for use in con- .nection with repairs although I do not. wish 105 to be understood as limiting myself in this respect. t

It is also to be noted that when the legs 2 of the member M are properly clamped within a vise or the like, the action on the 110 head 4 of the element E will be such to effectively hold such element E against rotation thereby materially facilitating the functioning of the tool.

From the foregoing descri tion it is thought to be obvious that a too constructed in accordance with my invention is particularly well adapted for use by reason of the convenience and facility with which it may be assembled and operated, and it will also be obvious that my invention is susceptible of some change and modification without departing from the principles and spirit thereof and for this reason I do not wish to be understood aslimiting myself to the precise arrangement and formation of the several parts herein shown in carrying out my invention in practice except as hereinafter claimed.
